It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful： blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.

On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩渦) and waves. ”She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, ”my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

2.The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.

A．she had stayed in the polluted water for too long

B．the whirlpools she had made were not big enough

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)所讀的內(nèi)容在文章后的表格中填入恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意表格中的每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞。

Global warming is one of the major environmental problems we are facing today. Scientists think a further rise in the carbon dioxide levels will make this situation worse. The greenhouse effect causes the earth’s heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, which results in the increase in temperature. This in turn has an effect on various plants and animals. Global warming makes it difficult for some of them to survive.

Ozone depletion(臭氧耗損) means a drop in the quantity of the ozone in the earth’s stratosphere (平流層). The ozone hole in the Antarctic is mainly due to the release of CFCs ( a type of gas). Because of ozone depletion, humans are facing various problems such as the harmful effects of UV rays.

Water pollution is caused when wastes are thrown into water. What’s more, many harmful chemicals are also put into water, which causes the deaths of many wild animals and endangers the health of humans.

The increasing population is causing a loss of natural resources. This is related to various human activities. For example, overfishing has caused many kinds of fishes to die out. Forests are being cleared to meet the rising demand for paper, wood, even for land. Mining(采礦) has led to a further drop in mineral resources. If we used up all the resources, how could our children survive on this planet?

These are some of the current environmental problems we are facing today. Only with an effort from each person, can we hope to save our planet from being destroyed.

An epidemic (流行病) of the use of street-culture language broke out in some English exams, according to examiners.

A report said there were “a surprising number of small mistakes” in standard (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) English. It asked teachers that they should prevent pupils from using "street language and text style", adding, “Most answers require formal expression of language.”

“Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly able students,” the report continued.

It added that the use of street and text language “appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of students who clearly desired a higher grade”.

“Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate--students should know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style.” it said.

There is rising concern about pupils’ writing skills, especially among boys. National test results for 11-year-old boys’ writing standards had fallen this year. Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 1l-year-old by the time they left primary school, the results showed.

Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of ways of improving writing standards.

The report said spelling was “in general inconsistent(不一致)” and “variety of vocabulary and of sentence structure is often limited”. It went on, “Punctuation (標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)) errors continue to be widespread.”

However, it added, “Some examiners felt that this year they had met an improvement in the whole structure of students' writing.”

64. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Street language is appearing in the standard English exams.

B. What the street-culture language is in England.

C. The English say no to the street-culture language in daily life.

D. The street-culture language is being examined in English exams.

65. The underlined word “appropriate” (in Paragraph 5) means “ _______”                                                            

A. available             B. possible             C. valuable                   D. acceptable               

66. What problems concerned examiners ?                   

A. Small mistakes in spelling and punctuation,         

B. Poor sentence structure, and errors in spelling and standard English.                               

C. Teachers teaching writing skills.

D. Limited vocabulary of boy pupils.

67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. In English exams, most answers require informal expression of language.                      

B. When an informal style is correct, the students are allowed to use it.                            

C. Boys' writing skills are worse than those of girls in England.

D. There is no improvement in the whole structure of students' writing.

Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to fid out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert．With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists for advice．　　

    Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis．About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second．“Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s． There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,”the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said．“We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem．”　　

    Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp．The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth． Results come back in three days． People can also log on a website to get further information．　　

    Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka． Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month．Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them．“Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions,” Kimura said．“Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results．”　　

As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern． The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity． With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help．
